Backup Software for SBS 2003 in different locations on different days
From my understanding so far the default backup program in SBS 2003 only allows for 1 scheduled backup to 1 location. What I am looking for is backup software that will be able to do a complete backup of the SBS to Drive A everyday. Drive B every Friday and Drive C every month end.
Drive A would be changed Daily, Drive B would be changed Weekly and Drive C would be changed monthly.
On top of that I am curious if there is any backup software out there that will allow the SBS to copy over certain folders from the computers that are connected to it via remote desktop connection. I simply want to copy over 1 folder from each of the clients computers onto the SBS so that the SBS backup will contain these folders as well.
Any suggestions or Ideas would be great!!

Sorry for the delay in response.
I have not  tried all the options you've given me so far.
Preferably the solution I was looking for would be free or 'cheap'.
I do believe I will be looking into the NTbackup with scheduling option but that does not solve my other related issue. I need to copy over one folder that is not in the user profiles. The folder is called 'FileRoom' and is located at  'C:\FileRoom' on every client computer.  The folder contains scanned documents, nothing else. Unfortunately these scanned documents have over time, increased in size dramatically. What would be prefered is as stated above, is to setup a shared folder on the SBS so when they scan their documents, the files themselves would be saved on the SBS instead of the individual computers which would make life so much simplier when it comes to backing them up.
From my limited understanding of the problem(s) at hand include the fact that it would take 10+ more time for the clients to scan and have the files save onto the SBS due to internet connection issues and when you're scanning upward to 20 or 30 documents at any give
 time it doesn't take much of an delay per document to make the delay so much longer.
The only solution I can see from the above would be to have some sort of a setup that at the end of the day somehow manage to copy over the folder over to the SBS. Â Any other thoughts or suggestions?
